Anyone raise their chickens to produce low PUFA eggs?

[Jmiller89]

Wanted to see if anyone else was trying or able to raise their chickens to be low PUFA (polyunsaturated fat). We have just started with 6 red sexlinks (23wks) and 6 black sexlinks (4wks). The older girls have still not laid eggs, though they look healthy and seem to be getting enough food with foraging and scraps. If you are not feeding your chickens grains, what are you feeding them and how are you economically growing food or providing food for your chickens? We are going to start a mealworm farm and soldier fly farm to supplement. We are also starting to grow comfrey. Anything else we can grow and possibly store for feeding during the winter months?

Pasture raised animals have higher amounts of omega 3 in their meat (or eggs). Commercial processed feed tends to be very high in pufa so you need to feed your chickens a balanced diet of whole seeds.
Rich pasture, fish meat as protein source, a good amount of linseed and hemp seed in your seed mix help keep pufa levels low and omega 3 high.
